Mary stepped out of the house pulling on her lovely gloves with the fur tops. Today was a day for shopping and she needed to get moving spit-spot because the winter afternoons were so short.
As she walked down the path smoothing her smart red coat with the brass buttons when something made her look up.
"My gracious goodness glory me!" she exclaimed uncharacteristicly.
A little girl was walking down out of the sky, she was wearing a short little blue dress that looked either something like you would see on the side of a Greek urn or rather as if she'd torn a bit of the sky off to wrap around herself.
She clapped her hands when she saw Mary Poppins.
"Oh there you are! I'm not late this time am I?"
Mary has a very curious look on her face. And if anybody is near enough to see, they might notice a blue fire, or light, in her eyes. As if reflecting the blue of the girl's dress.
"No, of course not Maia. You're just on time."
"Oh lovely!" Maia clapped her hands again. "Shall we go? Where shall we go first? What a lovely little island this is! Much smaller then the last one."
Maia skipped down the street ahead of Mary Poppins, who was very likely about to have a rather long day.
